hello and welcome to technology regardless of who you are and whether you live in moscow or anywhere else in the world we all might there one holiday which we're all hoping for good health to keep us in tip top. find the latest improvements in russian medical science. breakthrough.

technology it's not surprising that they were. the first. to. improve. with previous. debut these unable to more natural flow and lessen damage

to blood cells by the late one nine hundred seventy s. more or less modern day by leaflet valves at the scene but these still work perfect . whatever the position of leaflets inside the ring they create some amount of resistance so the pressure on the heart is generally as high as thirty forty or even fifty millimeters of mercury we figured out that it would be impossible to remove this obstacle as long as the leaflets were in the middle of the blood flow so we decided to place them outside the ring. for that the doctors turned to med in russia's premier heart valve maker those coming off the lines here are made of what's called monolithic pure alliterate carbon the materials obtained from ordinary natural gas as it's burned at temperatures up to fifteen hundred degrees celsius in special ovens carbon

collects on the walls of the reactor that's been collected and passed on for further reworking. to mean different elsewhere pirelli to carbon is based on a graphic foundation. that is a result. structure which stays solid when the show is undamaged there but the whole thing falls apart whenever there's a tiny crack. material is better protected against such problems thank you. for getting that peer lit it carbon they need is only the first step in the process before these black into rings can become potentially life saving valves they must be cut and chiseled into the right shape. thank you in the fact these are alternately going to be implanted inside someone's heart the repeatedly long the wait for pinpoint accuracy. unlike many other valves out

there many inches are made entirely out of pure carbon that means that not only is the ring but the leaflets are also made from super strong material to get the flap shaped just right down using special equipment and that goes on to be checked and cleaned once again from this point the two main components. are put together in an absolutely room over the years the company has sold tens of thousands of their previous models in more than twenty five countries but thanks to their work with the. above. by creating a totally unobstructed channel through the middle to improve the performance of biological valves with a long life and reliability of mechanical one. for the whole shape is the same as that human body which enables even. without any of.

the functions. we've just started clinical trials which we intend to run for a year and then start mass production sales. so far only a handful of the brand new been placed in the hands of capable surgeons when they do eventually hit the market will likely be plenty of demand in two thousand and eleven there were some twenty five thousand placement surgeries in russia alone and to avoid becoming another of those statistics you should do as i say not as i do for like this may be tasty but in excess it could lead to any number of health problems all the starch and sugar can wreak havoc on your teeth and might just land you under dental surgeons operating lights where they ingenue even that doesn't have to be as nail biting as it used to be for many people there's nothing more stressful than a visit to the doctor but many are turning to new technology to soothe their patients nerves more invasive surgeries. are now using laser. make the necessary

cuts these are often perfect for surgery in the mouth because as it slices the laser card arises instantaneously such diode based dicer is have been around for a while but this one being used just outside of moscow is of a new breed. which hit the market earlier in two thousand and twelve. thermal optic surgery based on the nano carbonized zation of light guides feedback and a high power laser allows us to significantly reduce the time it takes to perform a surgery. but this means tissues consume less energy which in turn reduces the risk of causing thermal damage to the tissues. this is especially important in operations on the oral mucosa since these tissues are very fine and delicate. response or for that high tech slicer is a global partnership that's based on technology pioneered here in st petersburg the

streets of the northern capital are icy and winter months the laser related tech of some of the city's scientists is red hot. the principle that underlies many laser scalpels dates back to the eighty's and has its roots at the st petersburg state university of information technology mechanics and. despite what many people think don't make incisions with the laser. generated to do the cutting previously. the laser base just created. the temperature could and did throughout the course of an operation based on the know how here the st petersburg institute. which they feel is head and shoulders above the competition. device support. system that controlled the temperature of the areas being operated on. depending on the required temperature. here in st petersburg there are different

configurations to see which give the most ideal performance for certain. materials can be used in the tips but depending on how much of the laser light they have varying temperatures. cutting edge research takes place in st petersburg through the company's production all the way across the globe. just outside of boston massachusetts in the united states where the truly international team is the research and development carried out by their russian partners. individual companies. primarily responsible for innovation research development and commercialization of the product in the russian federation. responsible for manufacturing and commercialization in international markets and we think that this is a very. successful project because it allows us to. maximize

the strengths of each parties and their. respect. and also leverage. capital resources most efficiently. but the company is currently working on a new. specially. for a different one in theory that means dental surgeon have to invest and then entirely separate consul for different purposes. devices produced by a closest competitors in terms of power are much larger and much more complicated than the ones that we made some competitors make similarly sized devices but they're much less powerful than. our devices are quite well placed in the market they're compact easy to assemble highly efficient and can accurately control the

optical. as you can see here. with only three. about fifty meters. and more accurate with other surgical drills such. pain this. exhibit. all of the devices they were produced. in the market were completely sold out over the course of the two days. here in russia the company and its technology is getting recognition. despite having only been set up a few years ago. which is essentially a big idea clearing house and advantages of joining that only helped push the

company. into the future. secret laboratory was able to build a most sophisticated robot which fortunately. found anything tim's mission to teach creation why it should care about humans and work this is why you should care only.

and. i've. a ritual and etiquette in imperial russia. the tradition of staging bowls is being revived in our time. but these are parties with.

sub. i did my own satisfaction. major university is a variable treasure trove of knowledge in the form of both respected professors and millions upon millions of books however there is just not enough time in the day all our lives to get through them all but thanks to the labor of one tireless academic here that could all be changing comes to science and technology it's hard to find as prolific of an institution as moscow state university stocking the

hollowed halls here have been some of the globe's greatest thinkers and it was here back in the late one nine hundred sixty s. that. teamed up with if you move lieberman to prove the existence of the electric potential difference across mitochondrial membranes that was a confirmation needed to help earn a british scientist the nobel prize perhaps more importantly that discovery could unlock the fountain of youth for us all. to understand we have to look inside each individual cell among the various organelles the most important for our purposes is the mitochondria and as these power plants pump out energy for the cell reactive oxygen species are also generated the build up of these so called our wes's and mitochondria can damage our a named d.n.a. in protein which is thought to be largely responsible for the physiological effects of aging. and his team hypothesized that this could be cut down by accident with the possibly charge doing so allows mitochondria is negatively charged interior to

attract the eye on antioxidant compounds that combination also helps squeeze antioxidants through the cells in the membrane which would otherwise absorb the fats. in total get to where they're needed in the wake of dr postulation and research such positive ion delivery vehicles were nicknamed school . since that time the topic has become a bit of a family affair with the good doctor sons getting involved now although the underlying idea originated back in the seventy's it wasn't put into practice until the one nine hundred ninety s. . we were in the first to apply this principle. in fact it was michael kamber. he used cohen. and immediately told him that it wasn't a very good choice in terms of the anti-oxidant but by then he already made a lot of progress with that substance so he just threw his hands up and told me

that his investors wouldn't forgive him if he changed the substance halfway through and said they were going to give it a shot it takes ten to fifteen years to introduce a new medicine unfortunately a lot of the time was lost in my opinion however no one can deny the honor of being the first to try out our idea. since that first for an attempt to bombard mitochondria with antioxidants talk to schoolchildren other moscow state university researchers have been hard at work coming up with an antioxidant and delivery system pair that shows better results. from mike murphy he tried vitamin e. q school in his life have hitched their wagon to a substance well accustomed to dealing with the build up of lots of oxygen plant chloroplasts. the thought being that since our green growing friends produce large amounts of oxygen their own antioxidants must be up to the task of keeping

dangerous reactive oxygen species to a minimum. the resulting compound which they call s k q is reported to be hundreds of times more effective than any of the other variations drunk previously. kill all this is based on the preppers issue that it's programmed in our genetic makeup to slowly but surely kill off our cells and in the end. disrupt that program and you might just. more than that you know medicine succeed in extending human life in the wood or more importantly stone the onset of aging it least that's what it doesn't anymore and we're cells are emails so there is a good chance but it's not as certain fact yet so as a scientist i am obliged to have my doubts but we're working on is rather a hypothesis but we have to try and we definitely will. test for signs of aging directly researchers do so by monitoring changes in behavior over time younger

healthier rats actually explore their surroundings but as they get older they tend to explore less and camped out in the. preliminary tests have shown positive results in arresting this change in trials are still needed before we see an overarching fountain of youth drug like a pill or injection. and decided to take it step by step. i wish we were very lucky to have discovered they one can use this substance to make eyedrops so that it is efficient enough when administered typically going to this makes for a much easier path to the market. in order to commercialize the technology a company called. the medicine is only dropped into the eyes the potential adverse side effects are much smaller there was something like a tablet take orally regardless traditional tests on animals and then human clinical trials had to be passed to receive the go ahead from russian health regulators earlier in two thousand and twelve and at the moment they're working on having it approved by western health agencies. the resulting eyedrops are targeted

at relieving chronic dry eyes this interim can lead to increasingly impaired vision and in some cases eventually blindness but these russian made drugs are able to do much more than levy dry eyes. there are techniques to find out how many cells have died as a result of. the war programmed cell death that would. give you a totally different picture. they greatly decrease the number. of.

disappeared my myopia dropped from minus seven down to minus three point five diopters. pressure has reduced which is a sign that the glaucoma has grown. with russian regulatory approval in hand though my detect has slowly but surely started getting their eyedrops to market they're intending to go it alone without linking up with a major pharma distributor at present they've already sold twenty five thousand bottles to various pharmacies. innovators this is just the first step in fact we have plans to grow into a large pharmaceutical company with a way to range of products to treat diseases. over medications will have one thing in common. with this i believe is in the.

step in that direction with the help of. biggest development the recently built research and production. university campus as the company for international regulatory approvals and pushes ahead with the next generation of. medications. one hundred grams of the substance every month and that might sound like much but each gram of the molecule compound can produce. medical innovation the city of. innovation centers like the. bragging rights as well. as one of the operation simulators from a dynamic local company called. operation.

operation is done and then having a go at it yourself is the. students and young doctors. patients these robotic simulators are. the companies ever improving. different simulators for practicing minimally invasive surgery at the institutes and clinics the technology the difference is. we always keep a record of mistakes thanks to the video we were able to follow. it also shows the mistakes. possible impact on a given surgery this exercise feels very true to life. with. receiving feedback including tissue resistance all of this enables the students.

but the chemical processing complex is home to the inspiration behind those trainers. technology resident companies like get tax breaks and other business friendly incentives to spur on the development of new ideas and projects before they came out with the. different kind of. truck simulators for russian government. drivers training before hitting the road working hand in hand with the company. trucks for the russian military and emergency services ministry. actual cabins from. hydraulic systems and writes the programming code needed to recreate testing situations for inexperienced. according to company their dynamic platform a much greater range of motion and more precisely replicates how a vehicle handles various road conditions and experience. but after

a few laps around the training ground even someone as helpless. could perform a few tricky maneuvers with relative ease. but military and truck drivers aren't the only ones that could benefit from a little more practice behind a fictional wheel before getting out there where that might also develop simulators . transporters drivers and to practice in close to real life conditions it will contain everything one would find in an ambulance rushing to and fro on the street however for the forward thinking. getting the patient there is only half the battle. only covers one branch of. delivering a patient from the starting point to the facility where he can be given medical assistance so the simulator practice. transporting the patient while keeping him alive and handing him over to other doctors from that point on

a different branch of surgery. the next logical step. to make training manikin geared towards the other aspects of medicine. the company is working on creating a whole training complex that will cover the more than one hundred different medical branches needed for russia's health care system. and having a look and feel just right is of utmost importance the more realistic the training the more useful it is when the time comes to put that knowledge to use. with that in mind the company's production facility designers are constantly working to improve them. in addition to realistic bone structures they've also been working on a skin like covering that will mimic the feel of cutting through real life. still rather early days for i don't train mannequins each new model they come out with is getting more and more advanced as well as becoming more lifelike. present production ranges from simple c.p.r.

training mannequins to complex robots. skilled computer programming is the real brains of the operation. talented team of creative programmers all the simulated guts on the inside would be more or less useless. every one of their mannequin models is built for a concrete order to be a specific section or the whole body all together. engineers can replicate the body's various systems and organs as closely as possible to real life compressors are used to mimic breathing. tanks and pumps through fluids for cardiovascular. systems and servo motors for joint movement and react to the doctor's actions. programmers to recreate just about any problem imaginable. in the world there are four major companies in the business of making medical simulators. naturally each manufacturer does their best to stand out.

positive about this kind of competition because we believe that it benefits the end consumer the more competing companies there are including russian developers the better it is for the medical equipment market. so we feel that our devices are better than foreign ones in a number of ways first specifically for the russian health care system and of that secondly we have introduced a new concept. with a number of ports which is unique to our company third with a full scale model of an operating room together with a robot this is something our foreign competitors have yet to emulate. but i don't isn't stopping there they recently got big backing for a project to build one of the largest innovative medical complexes in russia for now the plans are only on paper but they soon hope to break ground on a center that would bring many of the globe's leading institutions to. so with

ideas and medical advances you've seen today we hope that your next visit to the doctor and this holiday season will be very merry indeed with this edition of technology update we'll see you next time so then enjoy the right. more news today violence is once again flared up. in these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations are all today.

something. law e's been huge. thousands of meters of on ice and rock. the lab. that is aloof for many. but dangerous even to those who keep it at a distance. the mission free accreditation free transport charges free come.
